Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
At-home workers typically use their own computing devices and often operate in a poorly secured physical space. This increases their susceptibility to cyber attacks and calls for careful deployment of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the development of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran group of data security solutions experts can help your business to plan, deploy and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that guards critical IT assets in environments that include telecommuters.
Firewalls allow companies to build a network environment that can be securely accessed by local users and by an at-home workforce, mobile users, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to assign and control different permissions to various groups of users and to expand your network and adjust your security profile as your business evolves and as cyber threats become more sophisticated. Progent supports both new and older firewall devices from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate computers used by teleworkers and either block or spot and respond to the latest threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is put on each protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and using advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats on arrival. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the targeted device from the network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain protected even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for at-home workers.
Progent's Duo authentication Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation with iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, whenever you sign into a protected online account and give your password you are requested to confirm who you are on a device that only you have and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of devices can be used for this added form of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register multiple validation devices. To learn more about Duo two-factor identity validation services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for at-home workers.
Security Audits can evaluate the vulnerability of your network to all types of outside and local security threats for a network that includes remote workers. Progent can run online, automated cybersecurity inventory software for quickly and affordably detecting a wide variety of security weaknesses that can be found via the Internet.
